Henry is the most versatile boy in our class. His facilities lie in many directions. His accomplishments are known by all the class and especially his ability to make him- self handy. His efforts to get a 28 dollar crowd for a basket ball game so as to insure a game with Kinston will long be remembered by the girls ' team as well as the class. o Class Poem Four years! how fast the time has flown, Too soon it seems to say Good-bye; And though our High School course is done We must leave you, but not for fun. Can it possibly be that four whole years Have silently passed away? Or is it a dream, a deceiving dream That passes within a day? Ah, yes, tis ' hard to say adieu, Oh! THIS, our High School dear Our dearest thoughts will be left with you; And we shall leave you with a tear. A tear perhaps; but life ' s ahead, Let Juniors come and fill our place; Forth to the College we must go ; Farewell! we leave thee now in peace. PAGE TWENTY-ONE I 4m its Miik

19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 Class History FIRST EDITION Published by the Campbell Publishing Co. DEDICATION To Miss Janis Chandler and the faculty of the Tarboro High School this history is both respectively and respectfully dedicated. PREFACE N WRITING the history of the class of 1922, the author has striven to set forth the achievements and failures, the glories and conquests of the class. The object of the writing has been deemed expedient that the world know something of the brilliant record of the class ; it has also been deemed wise that Tar- boro High School know something of the life and work of their prede- cessors.

In the fall of 1910, a new colony began its journey on the search for knowledge. The colonists were half a hundred six-years-old from all over the town, the survivors of which colony face you to-night. What an eventful day was the first one at school. And such preparations as had been made for it. Our faces had been scrubbed until one could see himself in them; our hair was almost glued back; and the girls of the colony were bedecked in starchy dresses that would stand alone. Our mothers led us by the hand and each delivered her precious bundle to the teacher with a few words of advice about her particular child. Tendencies of the colonists early began to manifest themselves. The schoolroom was different from the accustomed haunts of all outdoors; and many of us had never been with so many children before. Just as every one was drooping at the mouth and choking, the loud lusty yell of Maurice Light burst forth. I want my maw ! I want my maw ! was his cry. He was reenforced by Jack Denson, who hollered, I want something to eat! I want something to eat! For one solid week Evelyn Worsley refused to sit down, to march, or to speak. She sucked her thumb and said nothing, — the evidences of which performance her thumb bears to-day. The teacher had to use weapons to get this raw material to work in a team.
